I picked up a 3 pack of these:
http://www.handhelditems.com/samsun...atte-finishing-screen-protector-p-151910.html
So far it's really nice - easy to apply without bubbles, cut out for webcam/light sensor, and a nice anti-glare finish with a good texture to it.

Thanks for the link Dan. These look nice and good price too.
Do you notice if they add any delay or stutter to the touch sensitive actions (scrolling, typing, etc)?
It's been awhile since I've used a screen protector, but fingerprints just seem so much more visible on the Tab.

Great find man. Just ordered one myself.
most important info for me would be how "tacky" it feels. I just love the smooth gliding that occurs with the naked glass and have yet to find a screen protector even half as smooth. Who knows, maybe I just have spiderman hands.
Ordered one too. I hope they go on with static vs. wet....

Awesome find! A quick check on retailmenot.com found a coupon code galaxytab20 for 20% off these. Site says this code was supposed to have expired on 11/30, but I am still seeing the discount right now. They have a good deal on both the clear and matte, so picking up a 3 pack of each.
The coupon knocks off the shipping costs pretty much, bringing the total to just under $18. Not bad for six sheets, if you ask me. T-mo sells ONE for $15, haha.
My only problem is fingerprints.
Tell me, does any of these screen protectors really, really work?
I'm very skeptic.
Nice find on the coupon code stefvan2k1!
The feel on these is nice.. I feel that there's less drag with the slight texture on these than on the glass alone (maybe it's just my most hands )
There's definitely a reduction in finger prints with one of these on, I was wiping my screen constantly before and hardly do now.

Which one has everyone been getting, the Crystal Clear or the Anti-Glare?

I just order 12 non-glare ones and 2 silicone cases. I have the expensive anti-glare protector that I got at T-Mobile and AT&T (Casemate) and the non-glare is awesome, I hardly ever wipe the screen the screen.
Thank for the coupon code!
Holy ****, they want $20 to ship a 3-pack from California to Vancouver Canada via USPS. To put that in context, Phantomskinz charged me $2.75 to ship a similar sized full body appliqué from Phoenix. Or to further put it in perspective, Zenus charged me less to ship my Color Edge case, from freaking Korea.
They ain't getting my business, they're running the old "shipping charge for profit" scam.
i got 3 anti-glare and 3 clear from ebay for $7 shipped for each set

the anti-glare is ok but i've had a anti glare on my ipad since the beginning and the tab looks amazing with it being clear. Good thing to buy extra since it is annoying when dust or any thing get on the tab while installing and tape and patience isn't enough lol
alignment on the top and bottoms aren't perfect but if u eye it right you can give enough spacing on each side at least the corners are round and not jagged and with a gel case on the back that wraps to the front, it covers up the extra 2mm or less that the protector doesn't fully cover.
all in all for the price well worth it.
I would like to try these.... but I am picky about my protectors and cases... I assume they are decent? The low price scares me, hahaha.... so that being said, if I am going to order that case and screen protectors....
I might get something for my samsung focus off that site also? Any suggestions for the same combo but smaller?
The Galaxy Tab screen is Gorilla Glass, do you really need a screen protector? I imagine any force that would scratch or chip GG is going to tear a plastic screen protector.

It's not really for protection, but rather to cut glare and fingerprints/smudging.

Can't believe AT&T dares selling theirs at $29..........
Gorilla Glass can be scratched. Some people have attested to that. BEcause it isnt indestructable, I prefer to use a protector. I got an Amzer protector from Anazon that is truly anti glare and def leaves no prints... but I will admit I prefer the feel and clarity of glass
I got my Galaxy Tab with SGP Ultra Oleophobic Clear type screen protector.
I didn't go for those anti-glare/finger print MATTE type protector, because to me they actually degrading
the screen sharpness, brightness and also color quality, which also mean degrading your overall
viewing pleasure that not only on Galalxy Tab but also on any devices.
Tested matte protector before on my old cellphones in the past years, they only making me frustrate,
low on mood or feeling regrets whenever I used my cellphones to watch video, pictures and even on phone idling screen.
You know, just like the LED/LCD or Plasma TV nowaday they're all on glossy surface which reproduces great sharpness, color and brightness.
All in all glossy surface = Great screen/picture/video quality.
Fingerprint, oily screen? Not a problem to me. Just wipe it more often.
It is still much better than keep felling frustrate with low screen quality everytime.
Thanks for the link. Just got my galaxy tab today and already have lots of fingerprints and see glare as an issue. I also think the slightly textured, antiglare films are better to the touch but sometimes degrade the screens sharpness a bit. I think it's worth the tradeoff though.
Oh and the coupon code galaxytab20 also worked for me. I paid 13.94 for a 3 pack with 3-5 day shipping.
Got the SPIGEN SGP Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Screen Protector Steinheil Series [Ultra Optics] today. The Spigen site says that Ultra optics is supposed to be like the middle path between a matt finish and the non-matt. Just affixed it on the sgn2 and that went very well. No bubbles at all. But and this is a big BUT...when i tried the S-Pen on it... My God... was I in for a rude shock. It was like writing with a screw driver on quick sand scrub (used in the construction industry). The point it is that it was very unpleasant and rough - not to mention the squeaky noise that the screen makes everytime i touch the screen. it is very infuriating. I got the best cause i wanted it to be good...wasn't expecting this very sad. i wish they had atleast mentioned the squeeky sound in their website. so i though i should let you guys know before you end up buying this. oh by the way it costed me $21 with shipping and $21 is certainly expensive for a screen protector
I am planning to write to them. if there is any positive response i will post back.
Update 1: i have left a review on their website and also wrote to their customer support. will update if anything turns out. if no further updates then it means that they did not respond.
update 2 - going by the feedback here, i have to wait for a couple of days. will get back thereafter
update 3 - after a week the position has improved slightly. it is now like writing on coarse paper instead of sand paper. the underlying point is if you use your spen often, dont use this screen protector. the manufacturer has not gotten back to me inspite of me leaving a scathing review on their website with a pointer to this post. very disappointing service. i am going back to zagg

I have the same screen protector. I noticed after a few days the spen reacts better and doesnt leave marks anymore. Give it a few days. I have heard others complaining about every protector for some reason. You get used to the noise it makes like someone wearing corduroy pants.

<gasp> it leaves marks on the screen!!! i was in a dark room so i didnt notice that...my emphasis was on the feel of the s-pen on the film. your advice does not refer to that. does that improve or is it still screwdriver on sandpaper? the noise is unacceptable. i am a lawyer and imagine the reaction in a very silent court room if someone keeps making noises like changing corduroy pants...
bummer on your experience... I put the Steinheil Ultra Optics on my GNote2 two weeks ago... and honestly it's been the best screen-protector I've used. SPEN works perfect (no drag, sluggish, no marks). I used my Note2 naked the first few days of ownership... and performance is the same after install of the Ultra Optics. Maybe you got a defective one. Did you try the 2nd screen protector they provide?

When I put mine on I almost took it right off after trying the spen. But I noticed that the pen worked fine on a small part of the screen where I had rubbed some spec off. I gave the entire protector a good rub down with the cleaning cloth and it worked fine after that. It had some coating on it that dragged on the pen, but luckily it came off.
going by the feedback here apparently, i have to wait a couple days. will get back to this thread with further updates thereafter...

Did things improve?
From Spigen's website (FAQ section):
Q. Which type would you recommend to use with the S-Pen?
A. We would recommend using the Ultra Crystal and the Oleophobic for great clarity and compatibility. Since the Ultra Fine and Optics provides great matte quality, it does have a textured coating which may interfere with senstivity of the pen.
They suggested their non-matte protectors for use with the s-pen. I have the Ultra Crystal installed and it works perfectly with the s-pen.

Lucky me, I saw it before I decided to get the ultra crystal.
I have the ultra crystal
pros:
+Cant tell its there unless im looking for it since it does leave a fraction of the screen exposed and can see the edge of the screen protector.
+Works fine with the S-Pen
+So far mine has been on my phone for 2 months and showing no peeling yet.+Works fine with the S-Pen
+Comes with 2!
cons:
-not a big deal but it does leave smudges but cleans easily
Its the only one screen protector I've purchased for my note II but I highly recommend it
Have at one time/device or another owned and tried each model for Captivate, Infuse, GSII, Note 1 and Note II.
I wish they (Spigen) made a removable/reusable anti-glare model like the iVisor AG because my needs for matte finish is only temporary, but prefer the Ultra-Crystal to the Oleo phobic and plan on applying the iVisor atop of it on when I'm in the FL Keys next month for boating GPS needs. Hopefully they don't polarize each other out? S-Pen works fine
My only complaint is that the Ultra Crystal doesn't completely cover the screen like earlier models. I have heard certain case owner complain about their screen protectors getting ruined, and maybe that is why Spigen shrunk their stencil?
Does anyone know if other Spigen models cover screen more?
I have the same screen protector. The noise doesnt bother me... but it does bother my wife (which sometimes doesnt bother me ). I love how it is the best that I have ever used when it comes to preventing fingerprints. I rarely have to clean it off since it rarely displays fingerprints. This is a big plus to me and makes it worth putting up with the noise.

I have to agree. The spigen crystal clear has been the BEST screen protector I've ever used and seen. A friend of mine has a just like glass screen protector on his and I like it too, it's a close second to the spigen but it doesn't cover the whole screen area well (left to right) it's a little short on each side.

Hey everyone. So I just got my brand new droid turbo and was wondering what brand and type of screen protector you are using and if you recommend it.
I understand the general pros and cons of matte vs glossy, but with the droid turbo having a quadHD display and having the pixels not so close to the top of the screen as other phones (from what I heard) should that affect choosing one over the other?
Thanks for any and all input!
Waiting for zagg glass or zagg invisishield HD... don't get anything else.
I've been a long time Zagg user, but picked up the Skinomi - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OYX80W4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Put it on last night and pretty happy with how easy it went on and the fact it fit pretty much edge to edge (a little shy on the bottom but since I'm using the Tech21 case from Verizon pretty unnoticable. A lot cheaper than the Zagg but quality seems on par. It will be interesting to see how it holds up.
The skinomi looks like a quality product. How is the 'drag' when sliding your finger across the screen compared to zagg?

Non-existent. Comparable to a Zagg HD screen, no orange peel feel on the Skinomi. I think I'm noticing a little more finger oil left behind on the Skinomi vs. the Zagg but not enough to be noticeable and not 100% sure. The screen fit is much better than the Zagg's I put on my wife and son's MotoX's.

Edit: I echo a later comment about 'dents' in the Skinomi. I imagine it's the same property that allows for self healing, but it's making me crazy. I've ordered
Motorola Droid Turbo (Verizon) XT1254 Tempered Glass Screen Protect... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00P8V5J4I/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_RvFGub1RNXY44 and will follow up.
1/7/15 the tempered glass is great. Fits great.
Skinomi has been great so far. I also will note, that once the application fully dried there was no clarity issues (rainbowing) that I've have had in the past with some screen protectors.
I'm not having a good experience with the skinomi. Ordered two a week ago for mine and my wife's turbo, they both went on ok, yet mine had some bubbles in the lower left corner, figured it would clear up in a day or two when all the solution dried up. Wrong, instead it peeled up and would not stick back down. Contacted skinomi for a replacement, recieved Monday, today the upper right corner on the new one peeled up... Bummed.
The upper right corner on the new one had the same type of little bubbles the lower left corner had on the previous. I think it's something to do with the adhesive underside..
I installed skinomi 3 days ago and so far so good. Clarity is solid and the feel of the screen, which is important to me, is smooth . My only problem is that the screen protector gets indents easily, even when I softly press my fingernail against it. I'm not sure if they will work themselves out after a while, but I wouldn't say it's a deal breaker since the product is still doing its job well.

Unfortunately mine are not clearing up and I'm noticing more appearing Not really noticeable during regular use, just if I look for them but will have to see what the next few weeks brings...
I would advise anyone who is unsure to get an HD Clear screen protector. I've never really liked my husband's anti-glare very much. I think it takes away from the screen quality.

So it started off well enough but what I noticed is that over time it continued to pick up more and more marks in the protector which never healed and now it's starting to peel up on the edges. Time to find another brand or just go naked since they give us one free screen replacement.
Posted in the glass thread but I am pretty satisfied with this so figure I would share....
If anybody is looking for Zagg quality (plastic glossy) screen protectors I will recommend the XtremeGuard wet install. Very easy to install and after 8 hours you will not have any bubbles. I will eventually get a tempered glass version but not right now as it seems the jury is mostly out still. This is a cheap ($1.99) fix. I am super picky on screen protectors and will stand by this guy. It fits exactly edge to edge. Total screen coverage with no overhang.
For reference, I worked at Best Buy (back in the day) and always used Zagg protectors and would say this rivals it for 10% of the price. Definitely worth a try for those feeling adventurous with the wet install. I hate the crappy dry installs..

Still waiting for that tempered glass as well. I bought an hd screen protector from ebay, which left a bubbly mess... so now that Im waiting for the next brand to come in the mail, I've been going with no screen protector, and it's sooooo much better. I'm just going to have to be super careful not to drop. Not sure that I'll ever be able to use a device with a screen protector again after this.

The 'HD' dry installs are always bubbly messes. I guess that's why they sell them in packs of 6. I will never go back to them regardless if they are a name brand like Xtremeguard.
I really don't like screen protectors in general but use my phone at the gym and don't trust myself. The wet install is a solid protector until a good tempered glass comes out.

If you take it outside, the anti-glare screen protectors will help with sun rays and glare on your screen, but you DO lose some quality of the image. HD will just be a clear piece of plastic that protects the screen, but fingerprints and glare are a bit more of an issue.

When I bought my turbo in October or November, I also bought the "flexible glass screen protector for droid turbo" at the Verizon store. It is a little pricey at about $25, but I really like it. They had to order it for me and it was delivered straight to me.
For what it cost, I took it to them and had one of their employees put the screen on for me. I think he did a pretty nice job of it. I have no complaints, other than the high price. ?
As far as I can tell, it has no scratches on it, but, I try not to treat it rough. Also, it is very hard to see any smudges, etc that I get on it.
It did take me a little while to get used to its edges. If you swipe from the very edge of the phone, you can feel the edge. It kind of catches your finger. I have had no problems using it. At the same time I also bought the "Speck" case from them. I like it as well, but, it is also pricey.
Before this, I always used their belt clip. I do miss that, and, "may" one of these days replace the Speck with it. But, I think the glass screen is so much better than the plastic ones.
I would buy the glass screen again. (my opinion only)

I just received this one today.
Its not bad for the price.
I was just going to start a thread with the glass screen protectors that I've tried and whether it works or not. but just an fyi, I've used the ez guardz, they admitted to their current model having a design flaw; the edges of the screen protector doesn't adhere. Also the Ghostek I just received today has the same issue. There's one more I'm looking at on eBay and I'm going to stay away from the "flexible screen protectors" as those are the ones made by tech21 and I don't like the feel of them.
Sorry. Wrong thread.

Looks like film, I have their screen protector for my moto 360, first batch was over sized, they then sent me the replacements which were a lot better. I may end up going with tempered glass as well for to 360 but at the time none were available but the film ones, except the Spigen which chipped. I'm not too confident with the ones that are available now.

I'm not too confident with the ones that are available now.

I know that it's a film protector & not tempered glass. I was wondering if anyone had any luck with it. I was also looking at the iVoler tempered glass sold on Amazon
The iVoler is great, with a few minor caveats:
• Follow instructions to the letter, making sure the screen is immaculately clean. Also, wear rubber gloves if possible. Even a minor trace of skin oils will result in spots that refuse to adhere, so be super careful.
• This particular item ships from Shengzhen, China, and takes about three weeks. Order a spare while you're ordering and waiting so ridiculously long for the item to arrive.
Aside from that, it seems to be just the ticket... It's coated, so it feels slick, stays clean and doesn't show fingerprints.
This company finally has one out, I have it on order today.

reporting back from my last purchase.
Tried this TEMPERED GLASS Screen Protector - Slim 0.33mm Super Hardness - Crystal Clear by COVRWARE - picked it up from amazon for $9.97
The glass itself is nice. It feels like the naked screen. It's a 9H and oleophobic. Unforunately the edge adhesive halos. It's cut slightly short of the edges to in an attempt to deal with the 2.5D screen edges.
you don't notice when the screen is on, but yeah it's not a edge to edge performing adhesive. so i've left it on, as i look for a better screen protector.
i'd love to see how that mime screen protector does.

Let me know if the edges stick that's really the only issue with most of them on the market right now. I don't even want to show my phone to others because of the parts of the screen protector that doesn't adhere. Waiting on a replacement for my ghostek, if that's the same then I'm off to trying a different one.
The edges on mine are all good, with the exception of two spots where my fingers made contact with the adhesive. My hands were clean and dry, but it apparently doesn't take much to impact the performance of the adhesive. I'd recommend wearing rubber gloves during application... Other than that, it's a great fit, and covers only the flat (non-rounded) surface of the screen.
Ok got the MIME today, typical package and install. Goes on good does not go the the edge but about like the xtreme one I had installed. This one sticks so far and feels way better slickness wise than the xtreme.

Interesting there's no cut out for the proximity sensor. Have you had any issues during phone calls? Make a phone call, and hold the phone away from your face. Does the screen still go on?
Looking into getting a decent screen protector for my G4 when it arrives and I came across this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Protector-Spigen®-Crystal-JAPANESE-Definition/dp/B00UMDPLJK
Or would I be better with Orzly or Fosmon?
Just wondered what the general consensus was on them?

I'd recommend getting a tempered glass one - had one on my S5 since launch and still not a mark on it, doesn't attract fingerprints as much and feels much better than using a film one IMO.

So, maybe this one?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fosmon®-Pro...797996&sr=1-5&keywords=lg+g4+screen+protector
I was going to go for that one, but I think it ships from USA so you'll be waiting a while. I ended up getting the Casebase one based on other people's feedback (not used it yet as waiting patiently by my front door for the courier to knock!) - it's a bit more expensive but you get two in the pack. Mine arrived within a couple of days.
Bought this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Orzly®-Prot...797996&sr=1-4&keywords=lg+g4+screen+protector
Hopefully that one will be ok, keep in mind though all the reviews relate to the G3 version.
The Spigen one for the G2 and G3 wasn't all that great, but I believe it came with an extra or two, so that you can change it whenever. It did scratch easily for me, however.
I had some for a Nexus 5 I never bought (got the G2 instead). They felt the same as the iCarez ones I got for my G2, which were really good for film protectors. They had scratches on them in like 3 months, but the Spigen pack has like 3 in the package, so you should be set for around a year if you are tolerant enough.

They're really good. I do field engineering work and we sometimes have steel shavings on our hands my Nexus 5 had a screen protector and it looked mangled up but when I replaced it with a new one the screen look the Immaculate when I remove the old spigen screen protector.
I've got one from Skinomi TechSkin . Smooth, clear and durable. No complaint so far.
I always loved the speigen protectors. They are thicker. The matte ones are my go to on tablets. Prevents fingerprints and helps keep the screen from getting sticky during a gaming session.
just a question.
i've never used tempered glass screen protectors. my fear is that their added thickness would somehow feel sharp and uncomfortable in the edges, swiping laterally and holding in hand.
is this right? 0.24mm is not that much, but it is surely something.

The majority of tempered glass screen protectors have a curve along the edges so no need to worry about the uncomfortable feel
I've got KlearCut screen protectors for the LG G4.
too expensive. i found sth on ebay
the same as it show in SPG,much cheaper ,the same as SPG
Spigen screen protectors are great. Recommend!
Spigen one is good. But it is expensive. There are so many tempered screen film on the market. You can find one with good quality at a best price. Just personally suggestion.
Yeah,Spigen is expensive. I have tried this brand and it works great .
IQ Shield Liquid Skin screen protectors can compete with expensive brands.. It's wet install type of film guaranteed to provide long lasting results. Got one for my S6 and it holds up pretty well to coins and keys..relatively cost effective..
It is look nice,but it is expensive. Maybe you can find one with good quality at a best price.
